Six Sonatas op. 1

The cello sonatas, now published in a modern edition for the first time, are all in three or four movements. They bubble with life and have moments of great drama, particularly in the development sections of the sonata-form movements. The expressive depth of their slow movements is equally impressive. Ignored for too long, Eiffert deserves respect, recognition and, above all, a chance for his music to be heard again.
